GOING:

Race 10 1230m

Track:      

A solid tempo anticipated with Flash Kelly and Sound Tutu ahead of High Love Song and Giyu. FLASH KELLY (3) lines up for the hat-trick after registering a strong win last time over 1230m at this track, scoring by 1.5 lengths. Has a high cruising speed. Best figures should see her run well. LILY OF THE HEART (4) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1230m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. RIKEA SABLE (5) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on January 15, finishing sixth and beaten 4 lengths over 1230m at this track. Has a strong first-up record, scoring on two occasions from four starts. Worth plenty of thought. SOUND TUTU (6) turned in a strong performance first-up when in the money at Himeji but disappointed last time when tenth, beaten 7 lengths, at this track over 1400m. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
